Oliver and Paddy are quite often the ones who want to keep up with their older brothers. Desperately so, in fact. The problem is that they don't quite understand how to play certain games and so the older brothers get upset that they are "spoiling the game". Of course, they don't mean to spoil their game, they just want to be able to join in the fun.
The Red Rover Game by Fisher Price is a 2-4 person game designed for younger children recommended from the age of 3 and up. Red Rover is an electronic talking dog who encourages learning through play. He has twelve bones each with a different colour, letter, number or shape which are stored in his backpack for safekeeping. When it's time to play the game the bones must be spread around the playing area. Press Red Rover's nose and he'll shout out which bone he wants you to find. If you get it right you keep the bone and the the player to collect the most bones wins. There are two levels of play. The first level focusses on learning colours while Level 2 expands the learning to shapes, numbers and letters. It's simple, fun and educational.
Now even though the game is supposed to be for younger players...
... you'll notice the older brothers just had to "show them how to play it"...
Kind of them, don't you think?
And Paddy and Ollie didn't even complain that they'd spoilt their game.
Not once.
